Characters Quotes

Usually, family films have characters speaking with each other with much dignity and respect Picture Quote #1

I find my characters and stories in many varied places; sometimes they pop out of newspaper articles, obscure historical texts, lively dinner party conversations and some even crawl out of the dusty remote recesses of my imagination Picture Quote #1

When you do anything creative, you really have to live entirely in that world. I think my ability to do that is what makes me such a bad dinner guest. I’m always looking over someone’s shoulder, taking in stuff around the room, immersed in the world of whatever I’m writing about, and keeping the characters completely in my head Picture Quote #1

I never try to give a message in my books. It’s about living with characters long enough to hear their voices and let them tell me the story. Sometimes I would love to have a happy ending, and it doesn’t happen because the character or the story leads me in another direction Picture Quote #1

Because of streaming, serialized television has become less of a dirty word when you’re pitching shows. I had to fight for that for so long as someone who’s always gravitated towards ongoing story lines with characters that evolved and changed and storylines that continued over longer arcs Picture Quote #1

I try to be true to the characters that I’ve created and sometimes I disagree with them, but their opinions about the story and the characters really matter to me Picture Quote #1

When I was little, we had a Golden Book that had all these Disney characters in one portrait on the first page. My dad used to read from it every night. We’d play this game of find Pluto or find Donald Duck. He’d read us stories and do all the voices. Those are great memories Picture Quote #1

I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining Picture Quote #1

I was of the generation where most of the Disney princesses and female characters were not girls that I admired. They just weren’t characters I looked up to and identified with Picture Quote #1

Disney acting is a little more difficult than many people think it is. People feel like the characters aren’t deep, but as an actor, you try to do everything you can do the best of your ability Picture Quote #1

I can always tell when a filmmaker doesn’t care about his or her characters; they just care about setting them up to kill them off Picture Quote #1

Usually, characters that are doing something nefarious have some extra layers to them. The general rule is bad people don’t necessarily think they are bad Picture Quote #1

It is a wonderful thing in the process of writing when such paper characters are first sketched, and, when one is doing good work, from a certain point in time they come alive and start contradicting the author as well Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you’re used to putting on characters, taking them off, becoming someone else, doing your research, and working on that Picture Quote #1

When you do something unusual, the audience doesn’t 100 percent know what you’re up to in the beginning. And if you’re doing a character comedy, they haven’t learned the characters yet Picture Quote #1

If I’m doing my job right, then I’m not writing the dialogue; the characters are saying the dialogue, and I’m just jotting it down Picture Quote #1

Every autobiography is concerned with two characters, a Don Quixote, the Ego, and a Sancho Panza, the Self Picture Quote #1

I just reached the point where plot-driven novels don’t hold my interest because I don’t care about the fate of characters anymore - whether Emily marries Tom or not, that kind of thing Picture Quote #1

Some comedians love their characters. I don’t fall in love with mine. In fact, I get tired of them very fast. You have to be willing to throw it all away Picture Quote #1

The only characters I ever don’t like are ones that leave no impression on me. And I don’t write characters that leave no impression on me Picture Quote #1

You relate to a character and you find that character within yourself. It’s all parts of me. I don’t leave characters behind. I just let them go Picture Quote #1

When I’m writing a novel, I’m dealing with a double life. I live in the present at the same time that I live in the past with my characters. It is this that makes a novelist so eccentric and unpleasant Picture Quote #1

Downton Abbey’ is one of my favourite shows ever - it’s just beautifully filmed, and the stories and characters are so wonderful Picture Quote #1

I have always liked family-type dramas; I just think the dynamics in families make for some really interesting characters Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, because in drama school, my greatest strength was my range. So my early career was like that: I played all kinds of different characters Picture Quote #1

I think I would struggle with any job if it was purely about effects. Even as a viewer, those aren’t the kind of things that interest me. I think ultimately you have to be connected to characters and their relationships. Otherwise, it’s not drama to me Picture Quote #1

With actors like Steve McQueen, Paul Newman and Harrison Ford, what made them such icons is that even in dramatic movies, their characters had a sense of humor Picture Quote #1

$I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They’re the reason I got into movies Picture Quote #1$

The story is a machine for empathy. In contrast to logic or reason, a story is about emotion that gets staged over a sequence of dramatic moments, so you empathize with the characters without really thinking about it too much. It is a really powerful tool for imagining yourself in other people’s situations Picture Quote #1
